Transform your home on a budget this autumn

This week heralded the official start of autumn – that means shorter days, crunchy leaves, and big thick knits to keep you toasty. Autumn is also a great time to reassess your home decor and change things around to make it more suitable for the cold days that approach. Of course, though it would be delightful, not all of us have pockets deep enough to stretch for a total home makeover. That’s why we’ve gathered together some of the best bargains that will turn your house into a cosy autumnal retreat without breaking the bank. Want to know how to transform your home on a budget?

#1 – Carved with Love

Set of 2 carved wooden hearts – Matalan: It’s amazing how simple decorations can immediately change the look of a wall. These heart shaped ornaments are cute and homely, with the added yarn and floral patterning giving them a really autumnal feel. At only £6.00, they’re the perfect, penny-pinching way to transform your living room into a seasonally chic space. You can find them here, along with plenty of other home accessories with appealing price tags!

#2 – Flowers for Fall

Ranunculus stems in bottle set – Wilko: This trio of vibrant blossoms will bring an attractive mix of the exotic and the autumnal to any surface around the home. We’ve plans to switch up the artificial flowers depending on the season, ensuring the ornament is on trend all year round. Best of all, they’ll only cost you £10.00 –  the perfect way to dress up your mantelpiece without splashing the cash!

#3 – Snug Rug

Sheepskin rug – Dunelm: One of the best things about colder nights is cosying up on the sofa, mug of hot chocolate in hand. Not everyone has an open fire or wood burning stove to complete the picture, but by picking up one of these luxurious sheepskin rugs, you can still make your room feel warm and snug. Available in a range of colours, including Ivory, Chocolate and Plum, these rugs will bring texture and warmth to a room. They’re 100% natural, and so for only £34.99, they’re a brilliant bargain.
